Making room for the Environmental Learning Center
Excavation work at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium nears completion as crews begin footing and formwork for the future Environmental Learning Center, a partnership between Tacoma Public Schools and Metro Parks Tacoma. The project currently remains on track for a fall 2017 opening, with the district beginning to move in technology, furniture, and finalizing other details over the summer before the new building opens.
The following progress photos were taken the week of Nov. 7.
